Tony DeFeo - contributor

Tony DeFeo was thrown out of school at 16 for stealing a bus. He went on to start a career as an auto mechanic and, on a whim, entered the field of automotive journalism, writing for Cars Illustrated magazine. Tony founded High Performance Mopar, and then launched Mopar Action a year later just to compete with his first book. He is currently building a twin-engined Fuel Altered, and in his spare time studies economics and abstract psychology.
Waaaaay back in the day (1985ish?) a literary genius named Tony DeFeo worked for such publications as "Cars Illustrated" and "High Performance Mopar." That guy wrote some fantastic stuff on street racing in the northeast United States.

He invented blue collar no B.S. "journalism".I had many, many occasions to laugh out loud while reading Tony's articles on street racers, nitro freaks and back yard tech. What an unrecognized icon. He totally grasped the concept of doing what we do, in a never condescending sort of way.

Far from it. He's articulate, has years of experience, and knows what he's talking about. He doesn't embellish anything, is objective, and engaged. I respect him a lot. I also have a bunch of Cars Illustrated mags from 40 years ago. Great reading.

Maybe he shoulda spoke to people from the area before jumping in on the story ,But then it’s prob like everything else. Lazy and fake news sells.
